Prolyl endopeptidases (PEPs) are a class of serine proteases known to have a role in the degradation of neuropeptides and peptide hormones. PEPs are large enzymes (75kDa) that cleave after proline residues in the peptide chain.  
Prolyl endopeptidases (PEPs) are a class of serine proteases which cleave peptide bonds on the c-terminal side of internal proline residues.
